We’re With You Every Step of The Way

PrePlanning

The cost of an individual funeral will be determined by the wishes of the family. In cases where your loved one has made prearrangements, then those prior wishes will need to be considered.

Arrangements

There are many ways that we can help the bereaved create positive and lasting memories for them to treasure forever.

Burial & Cremation

Trained staff to advice and assist with all aspects of funeral/cremation service

Funeral Services

Allow close family members and friends to place a flower, piece of bush or soil on the coffin or into the grave.

Grief Support

It is a very special time and is most important that the ceremony be such that it centers on the life of your loved one.

Arranging a Funeral Service

There are many aspects to be considered when arranging a funeral.
The first important decision to make is whether the deceased wanted to be buried or cremated…
There are several options that you can choose from as to how the service is conducted:

We can assist with the following

=
Ask family or friends to act as pall bearers.
=
Allow close family members and friends to place a flower, piece of bush or soil on the coffin or into the grave.
=
Arrange to have a photograph of the deceased placed on or beside the coffin for the funeral/cremation service.
=
Arrange for clubs or various organisations ( of which the deceased was a member) to attend the service, perhaps forming a guard of honour.
=
Place treasured personal items into or on the coffin.

Pre-planning & Pre-paying Your Funeral

Information such as whether you wish to be buried or cremated, where you wish to be buried or where you wish your cremated remains be placed, whether you wish to have a church, chapel or graveside service, your favourite music these are just a few of the details which assist in the arrangement of a funeral. To make this as easy as possible, we have a Forward Planning form which allows you to make your wishes known, and also questions which assist in the filling of the necessary government paperwork for the registration of the death.
